Get started here

Copy the setup prompt and paste it into ChatGPT. It signs you up if you are new, connects Vamo with your sign-in and runs your first search.

Add it directly

In ChatGPT, open Settings > Apps & Connectors. Turn on Developer mode under Advanced, choose Create and paste this address.

https://mcp.vamotalent.ai/mcp/search

A Vamo page opens. Approve, and ChatGPT is connected. No key to copy.

Managed by your team

On a company workspace, ask your admin to turn on custom connectors and add Vamo, or let members add it. Rolling it out to a whole team? We set it up with you on a short call.

Try it

Ask for engineers in your own words, or start with one of these. A good answer names real developers, says what each has built, and says why they fit. ChatGPT then shows under Connected tools at Set up > API keys.

What you get back

Questions

Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in with your browser. A key is only for code that calls the Vamo API.
Can I use Vamo skills?
Yes, where your workspace has skills turned on. Otherwise connect Vamo and ask in plain English.
How long does it stay connected?
As long as you use it. After 90 days unused, sign in again.
What plan do I need?
Pro or Enterprise, and an owner, admin or user role. A read-only member cannot connect a tool.
